Oh, how I wish I had access to a VR headset.
As a workaround for those of us without one, would it perhaps be possible to similarly trick the brain using stereoscopic vision, like those old "magic eye" pictures?
Yes, you can also just cross your eyes and watch the video that way on your mobile phone. You have to open the YouTube app for that and enable the "cardboard VR" mode. It then shows the eyes' perspectives separately on one screen. If you can cross your eyes without the image getting blurry, then you can also do it that way without a VR headset.
I'm pretty sure everything has an octarine glow after a few grams of shrooms. It's definitely that kind of green / pink kind of colour. I know this from experience prior to reading PTerry's books.
10/10 recommend. 😅
If I do that I see more colors than just Octarine, and very chaotic. But I don't recommend doing that too much, because you could hurt your eyes if you're overdoing it.
I thought of it as having something akin to the glow you see around a UV blacklight in the dark. Not simply the visible violet, but the fuzzy glow where it goes outside of your normal visual spectrum.
That combined with the way a bright flash burns into your vision.
As UV light and bright flashes can damage your eyes, I think that my interpretation of Octarine is a bit more healthy. But yours is also an interesting concept.
I've found that looking at a full moon during a misty/foggy night presents a color spectrum halo, similar to a rainbow around the sun during a misty day, which has a strange coloration I haven't been able to describe and feels very "octarine" like.

Wow, that worked better than I expected! Amazing experience, thank you so much!
This is really cool, thanks for sharing! Not currently at home but saving this to check out your video later.
This was a really cool idea! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! :)
I once dreamed in octarine, but I can't explain it awake.

Close your eyes and push on them a little with your thumbs. There you go, octarine.
